LOCAVORE KITCHEN UPDATE

Locavore Kitchen opened at 21 West Victoria Street in June 2018. I’m now hearing from readers that it is difficult to get a table there – and not because it’s crowded:

Reader Peter: “Hi John, Locavore kitchen was not open this evening. Website seems to be dead and Yelp says it is closed.”

Reader Jim: “John, Have you heard anything about Locavore closing? I’ve been by there twice this week (Tuesday at 7 p.m. and Thursday at noon) and it was closed both times. Also, their phone just goes to voice mail. Please post anything you find out. Thanks. “

Sadly, when we ate there a few months ago, service was extremely disorganized & unprofessional. Little training appeared to have been done. Food was extremely mediocre deapite our wanting to like it. Im sorry, but not surprised if they are going out of biz.

I too ate there a few months ago (when they were new) and it was a bit disorganized which can often be the case with newly opened restaurants…. I’ve also gone back several times since and found the service to be quite attentive. Love their food and hope they are going to remain open 🙁

We had the best flat iron steak dinnner ever there a few months ago. Went there during Burger Week and enjoyed great sliders at Happy Hour. We want to get back and hope they turn the lights on again. Our experiences were good.

I ate there twice, was impressed by the menu and had the best burger I’ve ever had, on “burger week” no less. Very nice, experienced owner/chef. I hope it’s not a medical issue. A lot of work went in to making that place, and it has a shot at being better than the Nugget, which I thought was crappy. It seems nothing lasts long in that space. Makes me wonder if the rent is too high, or what.

This spot struggles as now it does not come with a full liquor license, only beer and wine. Back in the Ephinany days it was popular as a spot to drop in for a cocktail before heading to others spots nearby. It is a large space with a dedicated bar area; hard to survive cost wise when unless your food is so good you can pack the place every night.

what happened to you? I called the Independent a few days ago and got some mumble
jumble about you not being there because of some vacation? you had one about 6
months ago? I miss your column. Please return. ok?

YIKES! $10,613 per month and no govt restrictions/caps?! Unfettered us capitalism.

The us hustle was alive and well and broken, empty, and soulless (Morris Berman). More closures to come. And we shoulds, we needs tos, somedays, and action plans amounting to…..a whole alotta nothing. Sad that mom and pops are closing and ‘giant’ chain -corporations are laughing themselves to the bank.
